If electricity
goes off:
Learn how long power will be off by calling the
power company.
l If sewice
is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep
freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
l If sewice
IS to be Interrupted
longer than 24 hours,
do this:
1. Remove all unfrozen food and store in a frozen
food locker OR...
2. Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cu.
ft of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2
to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from
dry ice burns.
3. If neither food locker storage or dry Ice IS available, use or can perishable food at once.
l The length of time food will stay frozen depends
on
several factors. For instance: a full freezer will remain
cold longer than a freezer partially filled And a
freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a
freezer filled with baked goods. Also, if the food still
contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. Use
this food as soon as convenient
If the condition of
the food IS poor or is in any way questionable,
it is
wise to dispose of it.
If freezer stops running:

If large amounts of unfrozen food have been put
into the freezer, compressor will run longer.
